Hi guys

here is the official ad for an open lecture (plus free movie) I will give on the 12th of June at the University of Kent.

Adventure motorcycling: the impact on mind and body

Professor Samuele Marcora will announce the results of his research into the physiological and psychological demands of adventure motorcycling at a public event on Thursday 12 June at the University of Kent’s Chatham Maritime campus. Professor Marcora, who is a keen motorcyclist and Research Director at the University’s School of Sport and Exercise Sciences based at the campus, will present the findings of his research conducted last year on his scientific motorcycle expedition from London to Beijing.

The marathon bike ride, running from April-July 2013, saw Professor Marcora use himself and fellow bikers on the Globebusters’-organised adventure ride to measure how the gruelling conditions affected physical and mental performance. The research findings will include details of the effects of using caffeine to reduce fatigue in motorbike riders.

‘Adventure motorcycling: the impact on mind and body’, which will take place from 7-9:30 pm at the Pilkington Lecture Theatre, Chatham Maritime, on 12 June. As well as the presentation of the research findings and a Q&A session, the evening will feature a screening of the Globebusters’ film ‘The Ride-London to Beijing’.

Places at the event are free and open to all but limited in number. To register and reserve a place, see: https://alumni.kent.ac.uk/events/adv...ling-june-2014
